What Makes Us Human

A groundbreaking endeavor to explore human spirituality through the evolving technology of artificial intelligence Why are we here? What does it mean to love? How do we overcome suffering? Is happiness truly possible?   For thousands of years, we have turned to the same beloved texts to explore these universal questions—from the Bible and the Tao Te Ching, to the poetry of Rumi and Sappho, to the words of modern-day mystics.   What if you could take all of the wisdom contained in these collective pages and, using the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence, receive the answers?    To create What Makes Us Human?, internationally bestselling poet Iain S. Thomas and globally recognized prodigious researcher and innovator Jasmine Wang prompted the world’s most advanced AI, GPT-3, with a wealth of humanity’s most cherished works. Then they asked GPT-3 our most pressing questions about life. This audiobook presents the conversations and exchanges that followed—as well as special insights and short Q&A sessions exclusively available on audio.   What Makes Us Human? is a daring experiment in spirituality that will inspire you, move you, and give you a new understanding of what makes us us. This unabridged audiobook is read both by the authors and a collection of human-sounding but artificial voices generated by an AI network.
